“The well-documented proof of Hezbollah’s dangerous provocation verifies that Hezbollah conducts reconnaissance activity near the Blue Line and disguises it as civilian activity, in clear violation of UNSC resolutions 1701 and 1559,” Danon told the UN Security Council at the time. “The international community cannot continue to turn a blind eye to Hezbollah’s flagrant violations of UNSC resolutions.”

Israel and Hezbollah — a Shi’a terror proxy of the Iranian regime — last fought a war in the summer of 2006. Since then, the border has remained largely quiet, with the exception of a few brief violent flare-ups.
